As Intel's LGA775 (Socket T) begins to become mainstream, the availability and range of motherboards based on Alderwood and Grantsdale chipsets have started to mushroom. We have recently reviewed two boards based on the high-end 925X Express chipset (Alderwood) and we are pleased to bring you another. This time around, we have our hands on MSI's Alderwood offering, the 925X Neo Platinum.

MSI has stayed as one of the top tier motherboard and graphics card manufacturers in the world for quite some time now. While quality of build might have been a concern 5 years ago, MSI has steadily increased the quality standards and robustness of their products since. This is clearly notable in the lineup that MSI has recently released, from their flagship products to other fringe market areas like notebooks and SFF PCs. Let's see if MSI can continue their upward swing as we go through the 925X Neo Platinum.
